A ttorney-General Youminans, inter viewed by a Washington Post repor. ter, said he had come to Washingtor for the purpose of seeing Attorney General Devens, and consulting witi Ron. James Lowndes, an attorney ol South Carolina; but the former had gone to Massachusetts and the latter was.at Newport, and "I am," he con tinued, "low in tho act of following Gen. Devens. I called at the White House to day, and delivered to the President a personal message from Governor Ha'upton." "Do you propose to consult Gen. Deveins in regard to the conflict ol authority between South Carolina and the United States Government." "I will lay all The facts of the case before him. There is a mistakeii impression, altogeti' in the North in regard to that case. The people of South Carolina have no intention or desire to resist the authority of the government. The controversy is purely a judicial one, and the ques lion at issue is entirely one of juris diction. The State simply wants the government to allow the case to be tried in the State court; then it can be appealed to the State Supreme Court, and from that court, it the United States sees tit, to the United States Supreme Court. As to wheth er the United States officials exceed ed their legal authority or n it, in go ing to the jail and taking the prison. era, we do not propose to enter Up.1onI that question now. We vant tle question oflurisdiction (ciied firsq and if it is decided that'ilie caue iist go to the United States court, I, as 1 State official, Cal not eIte IIe Court to prosecute. We entend ibat theo case must properly go to the State court, because there is no United States statute to reach the olfence. This is n4t a qnestion of State's rights at all-it is purely one of S:atO gov ernment. But there will not be any resistance to the governmeilnt; we wil submit to the dci-ion of the ques jon whatever it may be. Ini allowing the prisoniers to be taken bf the Unit'ed St ates officials, t he jailor obey ed Gov. Hampton's instruct ions, lie direc ted him not to yield up the prisoners, .and not to offer any resistance if the government officers sought to take them." "Are you going to take Kim ptoni to South Carolina, General?" "We will, if there is any law tc authorize it, or I h~ad better say i: there is not a law to prevent it." "What do you want with him?" "Hie knows all about the fraude that were perpetrated in the Stat( and we must have bim as a wit nese in order to prosecute. dhe rascal. The policy of the State is not to pros ecute the small thieves, but to punish the big ones whl got the larger shar< of the plunder. In these prosecu tions there will be no persecution. So far there has been only three con victions, anid a lenient course hat been pursued towards the parties. T he accused persons will be givet every) facility to defend thiemselvcs.' Geni. Youmnans stated that thle poli -cy of allowing the inoDonslince t( come in and plead guilty and ther release them on prIom1ise of good b~e havior originated with Governoi Hampton. Said lhe: "A Norther, gentleman asked me to day why th< people of South Carolina worshipipec lBampton. I replied that it was be cause of many reasons. H ampton it the best shot in the South; he is th< finest rider in the South; 1he is the handsomest man in t he Southb; he't got'more brains, is the best lawyer he'a the best read man in tihe South be's the strongest man in the Southr be's got more common sense anc( home influence with the white, - and by G-, be's got more influence witl the co!ored people than any man Ir the South. Isn't that enongb to mnak< -th'o people ,worship-bim?" Send Them to Carolina. In the course of the debate on the approl-riation bill during the recent session of Congress, Col. D. Wjyatt Aiken said: I do not know that I can enlighten F this body at all, but I ask the privi lege of saying a few words. I am a representative of an agri cultural comm unity; and a great deal has been sald here to day about as sisting the laborilng clases. I have never yet heard one word expressed to show me that if we appropriate for this purpose the entire sinking fund of $35,000,000, and double it, that these very classes will not come hbre next year and ask for as many mil lion dollars more. I believe in help, ing the people, but I do not believe in helping them to day and letting them starve to-morrow. If.any gentleman on this floor will present a constitutional method by which we can, at the public expense, disperse the crowds that now concen. trate in'the cities and scatter them in the agricultural portions of the coun, try, I shall be glad to vote for any such plan. My State to day bolds out Its hands to hose who are wil ling to work and says: "We will ei ploy one million of you," and I have ofteni card it stated on this floor thal the; e are only -bout one million and a half who are idle, not from choice, but necessity. Now, suppose we appropriate 35, 000,000 to asist these people, how long would it be before the last del lr would be conimed? It there are one milli.n-idlers to day, and we can eruploy t hem by making this appr'o priation, wVOUld t hey not be idle again at the expiration of thirty five dayJ? for they would expect at least a dollar apiece daily for their labor. I only regret that there ever wa3 a dollar appropriated by the govern mncit for electing any (110 of these public building9. It has been the cause of onei hal t the idleness of the people 'f tis ~counItry. W ho is it that areu idle to dia.) Either mchans, ics who have been employed by the government or men who are too lazy to wor~k, I care nmot of what color. 1In my section of thle country we have had none of these public build ing3, nor do we have men clamoring for work and cannot g'bt it. .Every man there who asks for work can get it; if he is willing to toil for a livelihood bie can support hi mself. I say to members of this Congress, and I ask tihe particular attent-on of the gen tleman from Pennsylvania, '(Mr. WVright,) that 'if lhe and other nmney. ed men will only pay the ex penses of transporting the idle laboring men with whom they are acquainted, who have no money and no work, dlown to my State I will guarantee that cvery one of them will be employed and be able to realize a livelihood anid 10 per cent. clear .over and above the annual cost of living. It is all dlem1 agogn ery and nonsense to talk about Congress helping tihe laboring meon by appropr'iating money fr'om the public treasury solely for this pars pose. There is an abundance of work allover the country if the idle hands were only willing to do it. AN AEROLIT.-A singular looking and irregularly shaped flint rook, weighing 'about twenty five pounds, having the appearance of *a molten mass under intense heat, was picked up on Ladies' Island, below Beaufort, Iby some colored persons and taken to that town. It, is said to have fallen as a blazing notoror during a late storm. It is pure flint throughout, except the outside surface, which has~ a thin coating as if of lava. The Sa.. vannah excursiomists who called at Croftu's store to inspect it thought it a great curiosity. Vic ksburg has gone so far as to quarantine the mails from New Or leann. When Rogues Fall Out. COLUMBIA, Angust 17.-It is con fidently asserted by those in a posi tion to know that Kimoton will cer tainly testify here on one day next week. While my informant is na turally reticent upon the subject, he expresses no apprehension upon that head, and furthermore informed me that Niles G. Parker can throw a degree of light upon the whole inat ter not given before, and whtich will have due weight upon the controver sy now pending. Mr. Parker has been here for more than a week, and while his presence in Columbia has not excited unusual enmment, it is useless to deny that he will prove an important factor in the solution of some V(Iy grave questions with which the present in vestigati.bn is closely connected. His presonce here, con )Ipled with the arrest of' Ki mp tol, gave rise to the reported requi sionfor Scott, which has been so au thoritatively denied. I can state enpbatically that should Kimpton be produced, Parker will also testity, and some of the inside history of financial matters in the State several years ago will be brought out through a channel least expected. There is no love lost be tween Chamberlain, KIp 115ton, Pat terso n and Scott on the one side and Parker on the other, and the latter in a conrvei sat i.n with your cor-respond ent, eviices no longer a disposition to shoulder thO short comings of a riig to w 1ose muechmi ations he- feels hinself a victim. Mr. Parker riad th0 rCpt of the coinun ittee on fenuds published in the Ne w and Cou rier to dtv, and Seemu ed quite inn:used at some porions of the tesumt iony-notably that of dtulge Mackey where in h1e tect ifius that he was led to iinspect the letter handed h6i.1 by Khuiptoi ald Patters n to hinself'(Parkei) because the enve luve had bucoie tiunocaled. iParker is evidently determiied to save him self in this possibly his last chance, regard less of the cost to his late as sociate. ie feels that lie hia suffered p~erSecut ion and obloquy long enough, and tha lt therec is no fu rthaer neeod of' the exer'cise of forbeararce. .Senator John' R. Cochran has re mained in Columbia duri~ng most of the summner, and p)ossibly lie may find it ndcessary to call his commit te toget her' again for the benefit of' certain gentlemnen who have not found' it Conlvenlienit to .visit this Slate sincee Dem cr'at ic su premaicy. A BuAsruEMen1 SUNsTRUCK.-A man p'lowing. in a l1yrsyth county field re coived a sunstroke after a sound Cur:sing of the heat and drought.

GOLD COIN COMING Orr.--The Con dition of the national finances has been a source of general congratula. tion at almost every neetin'g of the Cabinet of recenit date, and the Treasury will proceed very rapidly to call in the 5.20 bonds. Subscripi tions to the 4 per cent. loan are very gratifying, and the employes of the loan branch of the Department have not for a long titno been more ac tively engaged in recording snb scriptions and performing clerical work relating to Government loans than at present. The impression still exist that the minor gold coins will soon be paid from the Treasury in' the ordinary course of business. Each day's record of the coin balance shows an increase of coin. Tae Cnr4 rency balance, including the ten mil. lions of the fractional currency re. demption fund, also shows low figureW No RAIN FOR iITRrEE MONTUS.--W There is a little strip of country, not more than three miles wide, between the six mile nnd twelve nile.creeks, in Union County, oi which no raih bas fallen since the .19th of last May.
